Primary Admissions

Admissions are co-ordinated by the Local Educational Authority (LEA). Admissions criteria are available from this site:

http://www.bristol-cyps.org.uk/schools/admissions/primary.html

The school admits children to the Reception year in the September after their fourth birthday, although parents/carers may delay starting school until the beginning of the term following the fifth birthday. The first half term in Reception is mainly part-time, building up to full-time after a few weeks. We can take a maximum of 60 children into any one year group. If we are over-subscribed, Bristol Education Department has set the following criteria for admission, in order of priority:

1. Where there are medical, psychological or special educational reasons and particular placement is recommended by the department’s professional advisers and is accepted as essential by the department;
2. Where brothers/sisters are already at the school and will be when the child starts school;
3. Geographical considerations:

• Priority is given to those children living in the area of prime responsibility for the school;
• Where there are more children living in the area of prime responsibility, priority is given to those children who live closest to the school and/or furthest from an alternative school with places available as measured in a direct line from the home address to the school;
• After places have been allocated from within the area of prime responsibility, any remaining places will be allocated to those children from outside the area who live closest to the school.

Nursery Admissions Policy

Policy currently under review. Please contact the school for details.

Visiting arrangements

Parents/carers considering sending their children to the school are very welcome to make an appointment to visit the school.

Register of Parents/Carers

On admission to school each parent/carer is required to complete an admissions form. This form enables the school to know who is the responsible guardian for the child. If a child's personal circumstances change please contact Mrs Morrison (school's administrative assistant) straight away.
